An electrophysiology report-generating system with data base capabilities

This article describes the Electrophysiology Report-Generating system (EPREG) which produces reports of clinical cardiac electrophysiologic studies. Reports generated by EPREG are permanently stored on floppy disk media. Selected information from the reports is used to generate an on-line data base upon which selective searches may be made. Use of the system saves an estimated 2 to 3 hours per week compared to an equivalent manual approach. The system has been implemented on a programmable word processor (Wang OIS-140) which is also used for other activities within our medical division.
